Central IP Stacking Management
Positioned as the distribution or aggregation layer switch for large networks, the SGS-
6341 series supports IP stacking function that helps network managers to easily
configure up to 24 switches in the same series via one single IP address instead of
connecting and setting each unit one by one. The IP Stacking technology groups
PLANET SGS-6341 switch series together to enable centralized management through a
single unit, regardless of physical location or switch type, as long as they are connected
to the same local network.

High Reliability Hardware Stacking
Two of the 10G SFP+ ports can be congured to connect several SGS-6341 series for
building a virtually logical facility. The SGS-6341 series gives the enterprises, service
providers and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks and switch stack
performance. The SGS-6341 series can connect as a ring for redundancy and ensures
that data integrity is retained even if one switch in the stack fails. You can even hot-swap
switches without disrupting the network, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading
the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
The SGS-6341 series supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid
self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates
advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology and
Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system
reliability and uptime in harsh environments. In a certain simple Ring network, the
recovery time could be less than 50ms to quickly bring the network back to normal
operation.
